Quilting. Week 12:
In week 12 we get to quilt our quilt! This week I’ve made two different videos to show you two different techniques. In each video I show you a different basting technique. I also share with you details in the Cricut Maker Block of the Week – Week 12 post.
In this first video, I show you how to baste using pins, and quilt using a walking foot. This is the easiest for beginners.
In this second video I show you how to baste using basting spray, and quilt by free-motion quilting. This gives you a lot more freedom to be creative.
Binding. Week 13:
If you want to learn even more about binding, there is a great Binding series on Craftsy. You can check it out here.
Here are links to supplies mentioned in the video:
Cricut Maker Machine
